<p>Has your family tried foraging<a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/foraging"></a> yet? Foraging for wild edible foods is a great way to get healthy, pesticide-free, delicious food for free, plus try wonderful new tastes and get out in nature.</p>
<p>There are many great books out there to give you basic information about foraging and I recommend you check out a pile of them from the library since every one offers something. It also really helps to go out at first with someone who is knowledgeable about the wild edibles in your area, besides researching the rules or getting permission in the sites you want to gather wild edibles.</p>
<p>All that aside, you can also get loads of great information from wild edible pages and groups on Facebook.</p>

<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> She took it as an omen that our days would be fantastic. She's going to ace her Science test, she said, and I'll have a good day at work. Shortly after she left, I saw a rabbit hopping lazily through my backyard, munching the tall green grass that's growing around our septic tank. Take all you want buddy, I thought. It's too soggy, so consider it your own personal buffet. Thanks for your help with taming our jungle.<br/> <br/> I went outside to try and get a picture of our furry woodland lawnmower to share with all of you, but he had hopped out into the part of our yard that I lovingly have started calling our field of wild greens. We have A LOT of dandelions growing out back. I'm pretty sure they'd be safe to pick and eat if I only knew what to do with them. We don't use any herbicides or pesticides here, and it had been at least 3 years before we arrived that this homestead sat empty. (If you have any great greens recipes for a first-time forager, please pass them on!)<br/> <br/> Instead of cute rabbit pictures to get you through this hump day, here are some other things I discovered unfolding around us. I need you help in identifying a few too if you wouldn't mind.<br/>

<br/><br/>Ever since my third grade teacher read "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Craighead George to us, I've had visions of living off the land. As a child I always noticed wild onions, and thought that if I were to live off the land that this would definitely be part of my diet.<br/><br/>As an adult, wild onions are often more of a nuisance, popping up everywhere in the garden, yet I still use them as an ingredient for cooking.<br/><br/>There are several kinds of wild onions that grow throughout the US, including wild garlic and ramps (wild leeks). The kind that we have growing around here in south central PA have greens that resemble chives, with small onion bulbs on the base, and often grow together in clumps.<br/><br/>I find clumps growing around the edging of the garden, and dig them out with a trowel.<br/><br/><br/><p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/HOiMSxPYzpDXfteDQdWO1tt73*BWtcSvuSrfhQ2EK8c*XOkUPhy8hEu9HLHgs9bwjTqwD53JmenVagBxdAp12niJFvdEZXRGOrLZjNpxN5Y_/img_4184.jpg" alt=""/></p>

<br/><br/> I then thoroughly wash the onions, cut off the roots, and dice the bulbs.<br/><br/><br/><p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/t9WSif856bmHyoFFtlowkuc53yZKFdei756irtjwSj3UgC8Muxq4NtXgULUF2HZVM89cLzbYbX5LJWmr6-cx0UsiQgYdDG2CNFsHWKqYxec_/img_4191.jpg" alt=""/></p>
<br/><br/>Today I thought I'd use them for a light lunch as part of breakfast tacos. I make sure to cook the diced onions well in the oil or butter before adding the eggs, as it helps to make the flavor more mild. I also mixed in some fresh basil and oregano from the garden, and wrapped the egg mixture in a tortilla.<br/><br/><br/><p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://api.ning.com/files/PvlUxaz6pQBSm8Wfuk1BUFAjZ2pyuGq7G6aJ*yAjt9IHPMJ5RC6X7uXkpZRNrxZFAv0hOP1WpIsb7o1p13zXIjp-AjHL7gQ6hsfDn*Qn9lc_/img_4193.jpg" alt=""/></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. Melt two tablespoons butter of medium-high heat (I love my cast iron skillet for browning) and brown mushrooms well (approx. 10 minutes)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2. Add sliced onions and brown another 10-15 minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3. Toss in rice and one tablespoon butter until rice is well-coated.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4. Carefully add stock, a pinch of salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Bring to a boil and cover, cooking until stock is absorbed and rice is cooked. Turn heat to low.<br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5. Without stirring the rice, pour olive oil evenly over the rice and cover, letting a crispy crust form on the bottom of the rice. This will take 5-10 minutes. Turn off heat.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">6. Fold in diced tomatoes and corn, scraping up crispy parts of rice as you fold, and let sit for 10 minutes, uncovered.<br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5. Garnish with fresh herbs and an additional drizzle of olive oil. Eat!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">We all have the challenge of finding uses for the gigantor squashes in our shares this time of year. I think this recipe's a keeper. The key is to squeeze out the excess water from the squash before adding it to the batter. The batter for this recipe is closer to a crepe batter than a pancake batter - more eggs and milk than flour! Any recommendations for a dipping sauce?<br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left; font-weight: bold;">Squash and Corn Fritters</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yield: about 18 fritters</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2.5 cups shredded zucchini or other summer squash, salted, drained and squeezed of excess water</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One large onion, shredded and included in the above process</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One C. fresh corn kernels, sliced from the cob</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3 free range eggs</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2 C. organic whole milk</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 C. all-purpose flour</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 T. sugar</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1 t. baking powder</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Canola oil for frying</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">salt and pepper</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br/></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">1. Using two separate bowls, whisk together eggs and milk and pour into combined dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">2. Fold in squash and onion mixture and corn kernels.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">3. Add one t. salt and a generous grinding of black pepper and mix to combine.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">4. Heat your cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 1/4 C. oil, coating the bottom of the pan.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">5. Using a ladle or 1/2 C. measuring cup, dollop batter into hot oil and flatten the fritters to be approximately 2.5 inches in diameter.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">6. Allow the heat to be high enough so that the fritters brown, but not so hot that the inside of each fritter doesn't cook evenly. A test batch is the best way to find out what works (Chef snack bonus!)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">7. Stack finished fritters on a paper-lined baking sheet in a 200° oven and keep frying until all of your batter is gone. Batter can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for a day.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">8. Serve with a side of maple syrup or other dipping sauce (suggestions welcome!).<br/></p>
